USING THE HEATING SYSTEM

• DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The Alde Compact 3020 heating system can supply domestic hot water using either LP Gas or electricity.
Please see the control panel instructions for details.
Always flush the hot water boiler before using for the first time or if it has not been used for a long period.
NOTICE
Always flush the hot water boiler before using for the
first time or if it has not been used for a long period.
To make hot water with the heating system:
1. Make sure that the RV's water tank is filled up with clean, uncontaminated water or connected to a main water
supply.
2. Fill the hot water tank in the heating system with clean, fresh water. If the heating system is used for the first time
or if the heating system has not been used for some time, flush it out with water by opening any hot water tap in
the RV and allowing approximately 3 gallons (12 liters) to run through the tap.
3. Close all taps and start the heating system using the control panel.
WARNING
HOT WATER HAZARD

AVERTISSEMENT
even death.

ADVERTENCIA
AVVERTENZA
• USING ONLY HOT WATER
WAARSCHUWING
When only hot water is required (for example during the summer), no settings need to be changed. The heating sys-
tem will handle this function automatically.
Refer to the control panel instructions for details on using hot water.
• AIR CUSHION
The heating system is designed to have an air space, called an air cushion, at the top of the tank. This air cushion is
essential for absorbing pressure surges in the heating system. Always renew the air cushion in the heating system
after 10 days of use.
This can be done by opening the safety/drain valve on the heating system for a few seconds.
The air cushion allows expansion to take place and helps protect the heating system against pressure surges from the
water pump.
NOTICE
To maintain the air cushion, the hot water tank should
be emptied after 10 days of use to help ensure that a
new air cushion is formed in the heating system.
NOTICE
Hot water from the boiler is not intended as drinking
water or for preparing food.
NOTICE
There may be a variation between the water tem-
perature delivered from the heating system and the
temperature at the tap due to the length of the pipe.
